Does this include Lustboy? I ask because I feel Lustboy is better. Speaking of, why do they continue to give him his Nami? I don't get it.

I said arguably cause Lustboy may have surpassed him this split. Ive seen greatness from both Xpecial and Lustboy this last split and they're currently equal in my mind.
Couple of reasons.
1.) Nami isn't ever going to be a high priority ban when that means giving up Yasuo/Kog/Zed/Xerath etc.
2.) C9 isn't going to take it because lemon isn't good at nami
3.) They had braum who effectively nullifies the nami ult. They also had Yasuo a couple of times who does the same.
Obviously lustboy was still very effective, but I don't think it was his Nami that carried the day for TSM, at least in this series.
Ya, I just didn't know if you had somebody else in mind.
Ya I suppose that makes sense because you certainly don't want bjerg on say a Syndra we seen multiple games what happens when they let it through. He was pretty effective on Braum as well so I don't think you can ban them anyway. I always forget how good bjerg is on a couple of champs that they must ban if they aren't going to play them.

Guess you missed the game lemonnation played Nami and they won. He bubbled 2 people right after bjergsen got his triple kill on Fizz

Syndra pretty much single handedly won TSM game 2. Syndra's win rate in LCS games the past few weeks is insane on any player, I don't know why she's not permabanned at this point. Fixing all her bugs really lets the power of her stun shine through. That being said, looking forward to both TSM and C9 hopefully showing up at worlds. LMQ I can't really get excited about because I don't feel like they're a true NA team yet. They mostly seem like decent enough fellows so maybe next year I can cheer them on more.

Nah. I don't mind Burgerking, Lustboy, etc., being on the teams, I root for them pretty hard. It's just ALL of LMQ just came over, walked through challenger into LCS, and now they're competing as an NA team having been in NA for such a short period of time. They have no actual NA roots 
Like I said, once they've lived here for a year and show they're not just trying to take advantage of something, then I'll get more excited.

I'm pretty happy to see TSM win. I've always rooted for them for some reason. Probably because they are the 1st eSports team I watched and I never flip-flop once I choose a team. Regi was always a dick when he was a starter and it made me question my allegiance, but now I don't mind him as much. I don't mind that the team looks so different. I like everyone on the current roster except Amazing. Everyone else is extremely likable. I remember watching TSM when The Rain Man was top laner and it saddens me that the team has changed so much but really TRM/Chaox/Regi/Xpecial were all very unlikable in their own way, the current TSM roster is much preferred by me.

Yea the current TSM roster is less abrasive than it has been in the past, for sure. I just love C9 so kinda sad to see them stumble but hopefully it means stronger performances at world this year compared to the other regions.
While obviously the main goal is to win worlds, the REAL main goal is to beat EU

I am kind of in the same boat but I think I am leaning more towards accepting them. Everything I have ever seen come out of their camp is that they are here to rep NA. That could just be PR bullshit but I would think it would have slipped up somewhere by now. I am fine with all 3 teams going to worlds as I feel that is our best chance at doing anything.
Maybe you can get behind them when you learn that they are basically living the "American dream". They came from China where pro gamers are living in shitty conditions with shady contractors and made their way from the bottom to top in the NA league, going through the Challenger series, attending local tournaments in the US, building an english speaking fanbase and so on. Its pretty impressive what they went through and how far they have come.
Decided to start playing again after about 6 months away and push for Gold for end of season rewards, dropped from Silver I to Silver V while gone. Been spamming Team Builder games to shake the rust off, focusing on top lane instead of jungle which I used to main. Played a couple ranked games to stop the LP decay and with Gold V/IV MMR immediately got promoted to Silver III without a series when I won.
My CSing could definitely use improving from where it used to be though and i'm still adjusting to top lane, I think i'll practice a bit more in TB before I move fully to ranked. If anyone wants to run normals or duo queue when I start grinding to gold let me know.
Will be focusing on Ryze, Mundo, Jax and maybe Yorick in top.

She is a lane bully, especially top. Only problem comes if you don't have a tank on the team you better smash and win early.

I'm doing something similar, playing the godhand blitzcrank. In my promos to gold 5 currently.
I like playing support because I can just not give a fuck. Teams go on tilt half the time anyways so I'm just having fun with it as best I can (Blitzcrank is pretty fun etc etc)
Thinking about buying the hotrod skin and all chatting Ridin' Dirty lyrics or something.
